Gotta thatch wedding venue (see pic attached now just a hole-in-the-ground) that went up during a thunder storm;
security guard was alerted by smoke passing his hut post and went to investigate,
discovering smoke atop the roof apex (no fire observed yet or elsewhere) and raised the alarm.
Fire quickly developed, and the building was soon engulfed and ultimately lost.
(to be continued in next post, so that I can attached another pic).
